Drug-resistant cell lines are constructed by using an in vitro low concentration gradient increment combined with a high-dose intermittent shock method to induce tumor cells to become resistant to a specific drug. Drug resistance is usually not caused by a single factor, but is the result of the interaction of multiple factors. Using drug-resistant cells, it is possible to explore these complex networks, such as protein-protein interactions, changes in metabolic pathways, etc., which contribute to a comprehensive understanding of the biological basis of drug resistance.
Drug-resistant cells are an important tool for studying the mechanisms of drug resistance in tumor cells or pathogens. By comparing the response of drug-resistant and non-drug-resistant cells to a particular drug, it is possible to identify molecular markers, alterations in gene expression or changes in signaling pathways that lead to drug resistance. Drug-resistant cells can be used to screen and evaluate the effectiveness of drugs during the development of new medicines. By testing drug candidates against drug-resistant cells, more effective drugs can be screened for their ability to overcome known resistance mechanisms.
